The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

It all fucking nauseating and all these men need to be he accountable.. disgusting men.. justice for all victims.. where duty accountability.. arrest journalists for doing their jobs.. this administration let’s fucking perverts and pedophiles stay in charge

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.

Don’t let them. 2/2

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

🚨 NEW — Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital... 1/

This is fucking insane!!!! I stand with Minnesota and the entire current regime needs to be excuted .. pedo protecting fascists

Agreed! I watched that today as well!! Love that move and most importantly LOVE the soundtrack! Happy new year to everyone!!

I agree. I feel I could just watch the news and it was the same thing

I’m just trying to keep a roof over my family’s head and food on the table…

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

I can’t believe our country has elected a pedopresident who shares a video of himself flying over our country and shitting on everyone… ENOUGH

So proud to take my daughters the the #NoKings protest today!!!

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. If the government shuts down, that's their failed leadership at work.

I have since canceled all subscriptions.. if we stop the money trail things can change…

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Damn it Disney I thought you were better…ABC just like the others who bent the knee to the pedophile rapist felon can burn the f*ck down

I just can’t with this country anymore… it is so disheartening

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

Trump administration plans to remove nearly 700 unaccompanied migrant children, senator says The Trump administration plans to remove nearly 700 Guatemalan children who crossed into the U.S. without their parents

NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to
